4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Tony Luck <tony.luck@xxxxxxxxx> commit 985c78d3ff8e9c74450fa2bb08eb55e680d999ca upstream. Each of the strings that we want to put into the buf[MAX_FLAG_OPT_SIZE] in flags_read() is two characters long. But the sprintf() adds a trailing newline and will add a terminating NUL byte. So MAX_FLAG_OPT_SIZE needs to be 4. sprintf() calls vsnprintf() and *that* does return: " * The return value is the number of characters which would * be generated for the given input, excluding the trailing * '\0', as per ISO C99." Note the "excluding".
